Abstract
ABSTRACT The literature has analysed the development and characteristics of the statutory regulation of the security industry in many parts of the world. However, researchers have neglected the political process inherent in the introduction or modification of regulation in developing countries. This article examines the process of formulating the regulation policy on the private security industry in Brazil between 2000 and 2018. This is acase study via process tracing approach based on the triangulation of data gathered from interviews, newspapers and official documents. The results show that this process is influenced by aprivate security policy community that has successfully resisted unwanted changes in regulatory policy, but has faced difficulties in making changes in statutory regulation in line with its interests. The article concludes by contrasting the Brazilian case with its British counterpart to suggest that political variables are key to understanding the statutory regulation of private security.
